Mike De'Cole: So It Was Written


I know a singer through my day job who has released an album this year. And although I don't usually listen to the kind of music he makes, I downloaded his CD so that when I do feel like listening to that flavor of tune-age, it'll be there to satisfy those urges. That kind of sounds sexual. But, perhaps, I'm being highly appropriate. Take a listen for yourself and decide.

Also, I want to show my support for what he does. It's good music. He loves what he's doing. He's putting his everything into it. Passion and effort should be acknowledged in the least and at most supported with enthusiasm. And on top of all that, he's a really nice guy. Plus, he's got some pro videos. Who doesn't like watching music videos? It's for your ears AND eyes! Two senses! Okay, maybe one of you doesn't like music videos. Maybe you like words?

Here are some words pulled straight from his website:
"Sam Cooke, Smokey Robinson, Otis Redding - Mike De'Cole is neo R&B artist reminiscent of these soul legends. Big shoes to fill? Perhaps…
Just as Smokey moved us with his sincere lyrics, so will Mike De'Cole. Just like Sam Cooke captured us with his soulful vibe, so will Mike De'Cole and just as Otis Redding moved us with his passionate vocals, so will Mike De'Cole.
Mike De'Cole first single Lost Without You takes us back to a time when R&B songs were created with real instruments by real musicians, a time when songwriters wrote about love, pain and joy NOT sex, bi@#$h's and wh@#$."

Mike is all over the internet, so let me Google that for you. Social Media links and more!

Or, you could try out his Facebook page first, since so many people do that.


UPDATE: I don't see Mike regularly as he's taken a different day job. He's still focusing on his music career with laser precision, and he's got the support to make that a reality.

Resolutions = Revolutions: 2019 Goals

Image
I feel like I had a pretty good 2018. I set goals. I experimented with them. I accomplished much. Now that it’s the beginning of 2019, I feel as though I have a clean slate. I have the opportunity to build, maintain, and reframe what’s important to me and where I see the gaps in my ambitions are. Of course, every day is an uphill battle. I am not wealthy nor without the need to work a “day job.” I have a wife and kids, and they have their own needs and desires, which often conflict with my own. Every day requires effort. That’s not to say that some days don’t happen to work out and go smoothly. For the most part, there is no natural smoothness. It takes energy, effort, and a clear understanding of objectives and priorities. Even though I feel I have a clean slate, I still want to carry over goals or aspects of goals to 2019. I’ll surely re-evaluate as I go, but I need a direction to start in. I learned plenty from last year, some of which I go into in the wrap-up post for my 2018

The R&D Workshop No.11

The Office Introductory Post I’ve talked about writing this post for what feels like months. It has likely only been about two months at the most. I am not writing this post as an explanation to justify my choice to rent an office—which is really just a room in an office building—or to portray myself in a way that doesn't reflect reality, or in order to gain favor with whatever your feelings are towards me. I write this post to share my thoughts about going into such an endeavor and to hint at what that general endeavor is. I write this, in part, because that is what this feature to my blog is about, and I’m excited about this change within my life. I’m hoping it’s a big step in the direction I want to go. When it comes down to it, I am renting an office to have a place outside of my house to work in peace and quiet. I tried the library once, and it wasn’t as quiet or peaceful as I thought it would be. I don’t have any interest in hanging out at a coffee shop, as I don’t thi

Put The Music On Hold, It's Summer

Image
For the past three summers, I have abandoned any hope of being able to work on music in my makeshift home studio. To be fair, the first of those three summers was after I got engaged and had just recently bought a house. So, there was the whole moving and "getting settled" into our new home, and planning and preparing for our late September wedding that just so happened to be at our newly acquired house. Fortunately, the house was a flip, so we didn't have a lot to do inside. There was no "flip" on the outside, and we knew we wanted the ceremony to take place in the back yard. We basically gutted the back yard and created a clean slate to work with going forward. It did look nice with its new sod and openness. We could have spent money on venues, or we could use it to pay for home and yard improvements. Option two won easily. Everything went but the trees. The next two summers had their own projects and activities. The nice weather just screams, &q
